Your website is by far the best one I’ve come across for clarity and the most valid information. You’ve really got a handle on this and I’m so grateful. You can bet you’re going to be a big resource to share and use. I already knew about oxalates but the problem is underestimated by even the best nutritional experts!! For years I thought I was fine just not eating spinach. Meanwhile I was eating chocolate daily, and many other things. I’ve been having vaginitis and cystitis flare up for 2 years now and serious leaky gut bloating and small intestine pain, all the while thinking it was just candida or some other mystery infection. No amount of top quality supplements have helped, and in the past I’ve coped by I think this issue has really built up over time.

I’m so knowledgeable but my program was missing this vital key! Recently I could not figure out why raw carrots were causing me so much pain! By chance I took another look at the oxalate issue, and low and behold, the carrot mystery solved. There is a light at the end of this dark pain tunnel I’ve been in. Better late than never. Thanks soooo much for your work!

I have recently changed my diet to a low oxalate one after a stool test revealed I had no or very little oxalate degrading bacteria in my gut. I had previously had years of unexplained back and abdominal pain ,and needed B vitamin supplements to treat regular ulcers in my mouth. My GP was dismissive of my symptoms and it wasn’t until I experienced changes in my heart that I sought help from an alternative practitioner who helped me get to the cause. Yours is a very informative website and gives good, easy to understand facts and advise. It’s a daunting task rethinking how and what you eat but I now feel 10 years younger with so much more energy. Low oxalate diet has given me my life back. Thank you for drawing attention to this little understood condition

Hi Sally,

Check out Jane’s story of recovery from wrist pain and neuropathy in her feet. She took my advice and lowered her oxalate intake by changing her “pocket foods” and kicking her sweet potato habit.  Sunny Gardner interviewed Jane and me for her radio show “Lightly on the Ground”.  Jane talks about her change of heart, and how she now feels empowered and tries to help others by sharing this information.  I wrote a blog post summarizing our discussion, and you can listen here:

“It is so amazing how much better I feel! My brain works better, my body is so much stronger, everything is better. Even chemicals don’t affect me like they used to. Changing my diet – eating low-oxalate – this has been a miracle for me. Before, I ate healthy vegetarian foods, but I had migraines all the time. This diet changed that. I have so much more energy. I feel so good. My arms were so wrinkled, now my arms look much better. And, eating is so much fun now.  Sally’s teachings are so powerful – you’ve got to know this!”

Here’s a video of Cathy discussing the low-oxalate diet and encouraging you to learn more from Sally:

Sally, you are an excellent public speaker. Awesome. You really connect with people.

Meet Carlos, a talented personal trainer who got over hamstring injuries using a low-oxalate diet.

“I’ve always been an athlete all my life, I was in the military, I was in the police department. I got a hamstring pull that carried on, then it caused me to pull my other hamstring.  So I had two hamstring pulls at the same time.  For over a year I battled the hamstring pulls, I just wasn’t healing.  My hamstrings just used to kill me.  Now, my hamstrings don’t even bother me any more.

“Once I went to [Sally’s] workshop then that’s when I started reading all her information.  It made a world of difference.  I have my degree with a concentration in nutrition, I studied dietetics.  Hearing it was something new for me.  And, I think it’s beneficial for everybody.  And for me, I think it absolutely helped.  I might benefit one way, somebody else is going to benefit another way.  My main benefit was the connective tissue; proper healing.  You’ve just got to come hear the lectures.  It’s life changing.”

Thank you for a very informative class and free handouts.  Extremely helpful.
